  Puss in Boots (2)  
  穿長靴的貓 (2)  
     
  The king saved the cat's master, dressed him in expensive clothes, and they rode off together. Meanwhile, Puss raced ahead and met some farmers. Although the fields they were working in belonged to a powerful ogre, he told the farmers to say they belonged to his master. "If you don't," Puss threatened, "I will beat you!" When the king arrived and asked who owned the fields, he heard the farmers say the young master's name.  
  Puss was not finished. He met the ogre and started to flatter him. "Such a powerful ogre must have many talents,” the cat said. "I bet you can turn yourself into anything, even a mouse!" To show the cat his skill, the ogre turned himself into a mouse. Puss then jumped on the mouse and ate it!  
  At last, Puss claimed the ogre's land and castle for his master. When the king arrived, he was so impressed by the boy's wealth that he asked Puss's master to marry his daughter, the princess. Thus, the youngest son of a poor miller became a prince thanks to the help of one cool cat, Puss in Boots.  
     
  國王救了這隻貓的主人,讓他穿上昂貴的衣服,然後他們一起乘馬車離開。同時,貓咪跑到前頭並遇到了一些農夫。雖然農夫們工作的田地屬於一個強大的妖怪,貓咪卻要農夫說成是牠主人的。貓咪威脅道:「如果你們不這麼說,我就揍你們!」當國王抵達並問這些田地是誰的時,他聽到農夫們說這是屬於少主人的。  
     
  貓兒的工作尚未完成。牠與妖怪見面並開始奉承他。貓咪說:「這麼厲害的妖怪一定很有才能,我敢打賭你可以將自己變成任何東西,甚至老鼠也行!」妖怪為了向貓顯示自己的能力,便將自己變成了一隻老鼠。貓咪於是撲上去把老鼠吃了!  
     
  最後,貓兒宣稱怪物的土地及城堡是屬於牠主人的。當國王抵達時,他對於這個男孩的財富感到非常欽佩,因此要求貓兒的主人娶他的女兒,也就是公主。就這樣,窮困磨坊主人最小的兒子變成了親王,這都多虧了這隻穿著長靴的酷貓幫忙。
